Based off this prompt: "You think I would've seen that coming"

"You think I would've seen that coming," Riley breathes, her forehead touching Maya's, their lips just millimetres from each other.

In hindsight she really should've seen it coming. Neither Riley nor Maya had shown any interest in boys since Lucas, and Riley had long since broken up with him. They loved being together, every single second of every single day... but they always had, so it didn't mean anything, right? And they loved to touch each other, and this wasn't just best friend hand holding and hugging, this was hugs that lasted too long to be platonic, caressing cheeks and hands, lifting chins, and stroking hair... but they'd always done those things, they're Riley and Maya, no need to think about the things they did and said to each other to deeply, for they were just best friends, weren't they?

It was Maya who saw it coming first. They were in the Bay Window, talking, sitting too close, their legs tangled, their fingers entwined. Riley looked so beautiful, granted she always did, but there was something about this moment—maybe it was the way the light fell on her face, or maybe it was just Riley being Riley—that made Maya's heart jump out of her chest.

"Riles," Maya whispered, bringing a hand up to stroke Riley's cheek softly.

Riley tilted her head ever-so slightly and smiled lovingly. "Yes, Peaches?"

"Can I..." but Maya couldn't finish. Her heart was pounding and her eyes were lost in Riley's.

"What, Maya?" Riley asked delicately, squeezing Maya's hand.

"Can I kiss you?" She asked softly.

Riley was taken aback, but found herself saying yes anyway. The two girls leant in hesitantly, their lips met softly, almost as if they were unsure, but soon the kiss was anything but soft—full of passion and fire and need.. All they knew was that they needed to as close as possible.

Now they are just sitting in the Bay Window, breathing together, hands tightly joined, foreheads touching.

"Yeah," Maya says quietly after a few moments, "you really should've seen that coming."

Riley smiles. "Kiss me again?"

"Whatever you want," Maya smiles back, pressing her lips to Riley's as the sun set behind them.
